Short: System monitor (MUI & AmiTCP optional) (V2.13) Uploader: tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de (Thore Böckelmann) Author: tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de (Thore Böckelmann) Type: util/moni Requires: Kickstart 2.04, MUI and AmiTCP optional Language: English (also German guide) This is the official continuation of the famous (and fabulous :-) system monitor from Andreas Gelhausen. What is Scout? ============== Scout is a tool that allows you to monitor your computer system. It displays many different things -- like tasks, ports, assigns, expansion boards, resident commands, interrupts, etc. -- and you can perform some certain actions on them. For example you can freeze tasks, close windows and screens, release semaphores or remove locks, ports and interrupts. Through AmiTCP it's also possible to use Scout as an TCP/IP service. Since version 2.0 of Scout you can use nearly all implemented functions through shell parameters. Therefore it's not necessary to install MUI for using Scout, but you will need MUI if you want to use Scout with its graphical user interface. BTW: Scout can open 49 different windows! :-) Changes from release 2.10 to release 2.13: ========================================= o devices detail window now shows the device's NewStyle commands, if supported o detail window for FileSystem.resource now shows all currently available filesystems o font window now shows a sample of the selected font o libraries/devices/resources list now includes the version number o all listviews are part of the MUI cycle chain. This allows you to control Scout completely by keyboard. o the BoopsiClasses window now shows the superclasses by name and not as addresses o the Locks window can now show the path of exclusively locked files or directories o the Mounted Devs window now shows the devices filesystem o the "MUI lock" problems seems to be fixed. At least for me there are no more lockups. I hope this is a general "feature". o Removed many, many internal "crap", like uninitialized variables, simply wrong code, etc. This reduced the code size by ~20K, although many new features have been added! o Many, many, many minor internal cleanups and optimizations. Far too many to mention every single change... o Development took over by Thore Böckelmann
